Windows Server Simulation Software for BACnet Systems

If you're a developer of facility automation systems or controls who is developing BACnet
communications software, chances are you've had a hard time finding BACnet equipment from other vendors
to experiment with. Particularly if you're interested in newer object types or particular
configurations that may be very hard to find. If you've looked at the BACnet standard, you know that even simple communications
functions can present some daunting problems, and you probably don't have the time to become that much
of a BACnet expert. You need a quick way to simulate other BACnet devices and focus on solving your
development problems. You need BACsim™.

BACsim is the industry's first easy-to-use BACnet device simulator for Windows. BACsim runs under
Windows 7, 8, Server 2008/2012 or XP, and provides a robust set of basic simulator features tailored
to the needs of BACnet designers and testers.

You configure an object database for BACsim using XML (actually CSML) descriptions of object property values
based on the BACnet standard XML data modeling syntax. This can simulate standard BACnet objects such as
Analog Inputs, Analog Outputs, Binary Inputs and Binary Outputs etc. All of the object types in the 135-2012
standard are supported.

BACsim provides a simple user interface that shows objects and their properties in a tree hierarchy
similar to Windows Explorer.

Each property value can be set statically, or automatically ramped up and down between limits, simulating real activity
using built-in "program objects."

You can also view incoming and outgoing message traffic with a built-in tracing feature that displays messages in
hexadecimal form so you can see the actual encoding.

We are BACnet

PolarSoft has been involved with BACnet from the very beginning. Since its inception in 1987, PolarSoft's founders have been very
active in the ongoing design and development of the BACnet standard, as a voting member of the standing committee SSPC 135 until
July 2000, then again as a voting member from 2008 to 2018. Our involvement continues as active committee members today. We have
participated in every aspect of BACnet's development including the authoring of a large portion of the actual text of the standard.
This experience gives us a deep and detailed understanding of BACnet.
